Menu Firstchild
This module allows you to create menu parent items that automatically link to their first viewable child item. Instead of assigning a direct path, you can designate a link as a "first child" parent.
By default, Drupal requires that you enter a path for each menu link you add/edit from the Menu administration page.
There are cases you may want to create a parent item, without any path, that simply links to its first viewable child item.
Menu Firstchild provides this functionality.
Instructions
- Install the module like any other module.
- Navigate to admin/structure/menu and choose the menu you want to customize.
- Add a new menu link or edit an existing link then enter <firstchild> as the link path to turn it into a parent item linking to its first accessible child.
